besides work, school, and family what brings you true happiness? what is your perception of the real life?

Our purpose in life is to worship God, for the Bible - Eccl. 12:13: "13 The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: Fear the true God and keep his commandments. For this is the whole obligation of man."
Frustration results from a life course that conflicts with the Creator’s requirements and his guidelines for happiness. Galatians 6:7, 8 warns: “Do not be misled: God is not one to be mocked. For whatever a man is sowing, this he will also reap; because he who is sowing with a view to his flesh will reap corruption from his flesh.”—Also Galatians 5:19-21.
We find the greatest happiness possible now and our lives take on richness of meaning when we apply Bible principles and put first the doing of God’s will. We do not enrich God by serving him; he teaches us "to benefit ourselves." (Isaiah 48:17)
The Bible sets before us the prospect of eternal life in perfection if we put faith in Jehovah’s provisions for life and walk in his ways. That hope is solidly based; it will not lead to disappointment; activity in harmony with that hope can fill our lives with real meaning even now.—John 3:16; Titus 1:2; 1 Peter 2:6.

The list goes on and on. I have many passions and try to fill my day with knowledge and new experiences as much as possible.
I don't really think we have "purposes." We are just a tiny fragment of a much bigger picture. The truth is if we were to go extinct tomorrow the world would go on with out giving us a second thought.

Real life is to be born and procreate.
After that we look after our family and friends.
We attempt to improve and advance human society and the human condition
We explore, discover, learn and teach.
We gain wisdom.
We grow old and die.

To live life to its fullest, to learn as much as I can and to pass on what I know to the next generation. If they are interested.

We have no purpose. Just live for the experience. Each day you don't do something new/exciting is a day wasted!

I am working on behalf of the human race to end the Christian religion in America.
Islam is even worse, and I hope that is eradicated too.
